Saginaw, MI – Alma track and field opened their indoor season on Saturday at Saginaw Valley State. The Scots saw several performances inside the top 8, and a number of performances that claim spots in the Alma record books.

Julia Gotaas placed 8^th in the women's 5,000,  and Braxton Lamey placed 2^nd in the men's 5,000. Both Haydin Sims and Cliff Maginity placed 7^th and 8^th respectively in the men's mile. Ericka Bigham placed 2^nd in the 400, with Andrea Taghon coming home in 6^th, and Victoria Gotaas also placing 8^th. Keeping up the solid performances was Cornelia Gotaas with a 2^nd place finish in the 800.

Alma also saw several lines of their indoor record book rewritten on Saturday. Andrea Taghon ran the 8^th fastest 400 meter dash with a time of 1:04.37. Helena Snyder and Reagan Kyser tied for 9^th in the high jump, with their mark of 1.43 meters. The clearance is good for 9^th on the all-time indoor list. Braxton Lamey's 5K time of 15:57.42 is now the 6^th fastest time in Scots indoor history. Finally, Austin DeRocher's shot put toss of 12.83 meters now sits as the 8^th best of all-time at Alma.

The Scots have some time off before heading back to Saginaw in January for the SVSU Classic.
